the number of letters in each Governor’s<br />
name) linear connections, all of the letters<br />
given in the Watchtowers could be accounted<br />
for from the letters that formulate names of<br />
the Governors previously given. This would<br />
require either a monumental and complex<br />
second and third order memorization (2<br />
dimensions to 1 dimension then back to 2<br />
dimensions and with directional correlation<br />
from a 3 dimensional origin to a 3 dimensional<br />
conclusion) on Kelly’s part or an elaborate<br />
and extremely obtuse deception on Dee’s<br />
part. This constitutes one of the chief proofs<br />
of the system.<br />
To demonstrate this let the student carry<br />
out the following exercises:<br />
1. Let them construct 4 rectangles and<br />
subdivide each into 156 equal squares<br />
(vide post): 12 wide and 13 high. Let<br />
them fill in these squares letter by<br />
letter following the order of the<br />
Governors given in Liber Scientiae and<br />
correlated by the Table of Characters<br />
upon the Great Table. There are subtle<br />
details of set formation and the<br />
emergence of order out of chaos that<br />
can been seen by actually carrying out<br />
this exercise.<br />
Let the Watchtowers be identified by<br />
the first letter in each, that being the<br />
letter that appears in the upper left<br />
hand corner: r, b, d and T.<br />
2. Next let the student formulate the<br />
Watchtowers (fig. 4) individually line<br />
by line in the order: r, b, D and T3 beginning with the Watchtower and<br />
compare the nature of each<br />
construction. Let them note how the<br />
capital letters in the Watchtowers are<br />
assigned. The student should use<br />
3. Note that in Cabalistic terms this order<br />
delineates the Heliocentric order, id est r =<br />
resh = Sol, b = beth = Mercury, d = daleth =<br />
Venus, T = tau = Earth. This represents the<br />
order in which the Watchtowers were received.<br />

what Tables they have access to and<br />
compare those that they may find or<br />
have at hand. In theory those in the<br />
Cotton Appendix and in Liber Scientiae<br />
should be considered the most reliable.<br />
In practice the ones in Turner’s<br />
Elizabethan Magic are at present the<br />
most reliable in print.<br />
3. A simpler form of this exercise can be<br />
conducted by copying a set of the<br />
Watchtowers or the Original Great<br />
Table and then tracing the sigils in<br />
order; correlating the order given in<br />
Liber Scientiae via the Table of<br />
Characters (fig. 3) unto the<br />
Watchtowers. It is useful to annotate<br />
the order of the Governors on the<br />
Table of Characters.<br />

the development of the hierarchies of the<br />
Watchtowers.
